090924_SJVCS-Mosaic-of-Mary-16-AWESOMEFor the last couple of years, Msgr Michael Carruthers (rector of SJVCS) and Peter Dionne (artist & seminarian, SJVCS class of 2008) have been working on a new mosaic to our Blessed Mother for the chapel gardens.  With today’s dedication of the new mosaic to Mary, the New Eve and Star of the Sea, here are some pictures posted by Fr Michael from mosaic conception through completion.

— Wow!  Beautiful!  Surely our Lady is happy.

SJV St Raphael Chapel mural

Gabriel Loire mural @ St Raphael Chapel @ St John Vianney College Seminary, Miami, FL

Gabriel Loire mural @ St Raphael Chapel @ St John Vianney College Seminary, Miami, FLAs I start feeling the end of the year coming (2 more weeks), I realized how attached I’ve become to the beautiful mural in our main St Raphael Chapel here at St John Vianney College Seminary.  The mural is done by Gabriel Loire.

I asked a brother seminarian to take a picture and had it blown up to fit in a 16″ x 20″ silver frame so I have it during our summer break.  We had to add a top & bottom border to fit the frame size.  A link to the bigger picture is below if you’d like to make one too.
